TECEP Exams Textbook Clarification

[lavagirl]

Bricabrac,

This is what I wrote:
"I would like to clarify information about MAT -105 TECEP. In TECEP exam details pdf I didn't find if it is permitted to use a scientific (nongraphing) calculator and the authorized textbook. I saw that the course MAT-105 Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics midterm and final exams are both open book, but not open notes and the calculator is permitted . Is this true for TECEP too?"

This is TESC reply:
"You can use a non-programmable calculator with the TECEP exam. No other materials are allowed. Have a nice day!"

Can you teach me what I should write to them in order to use the textbook on TECEP? I will gladly do it.
